Try referrer (server side), but other than that - no.

It can't be done client side for security reasons - imagine you page checking visitors browse history - a big no no.

You can look at the Referer HTTP header.

Only if the page links to your page. Then you can look at the referrer.

Or if it's a page on your domain, you can use analytics.

if you’re using PHP you can use $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] but this information can be faked by browsers, so it’s not 100 % foolproof
